<p>(1) You can’t blame the federal government for what colleges are doing. Some excellent students could not afford to attend law school without those loans.
(2) You want to discharge loans through bankruptcy? Let’s see… The US is… 14 trillion dollars in debt and climbing? We owe most of that to China? What happens when they come after us for money? No. Allowing bankruptcy only worsens the situation since then your taxes would go up to cover the lost costs. As much as we all enjoy higher taxes, I don’t think anyone would vote for that.</p>
<p>The only real, viable solution would be (1) to make it more difficult for law schools to be accredited and possibly knock out some of the lower ranked ones who’s students, for the most part, find it very difficult to be employed and (2) to reduce the size of law schools overall. The only way to fix the problem would be to reduce the amount of people going to law school. The problem is that there aren’t enough jobs in the legal field for the number of people graduating. That has nothing to do with ability to take out loans to go law school. That has to do with the number of law schools that are accredited and how many students they graduate each year.</p>
